Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never considered Saudi a "moderate" Arab state. In fact, haven't we really been questioning our support of the royal family since 911? On a more personal note, Justin, that's going to be a sweet experience. I've thought about teaching English abroad, too. Keep us posted on life. Peace. Kool.
haha. yeah, it's funny how when we speak of international relations, to be "moderate" is to be slightly more on our "side" compared to Iran... I guess saudi is the only middle eastern "check" left on Iran's growing influence (I guess we feel it's our duty to support it cause we went and brought the former one to its knees)...
